Support for renewables reaches new heights in UK government survey

Responding to the latest DECC public attitudes survey released today, which revealed that public support for renewables is at its highest level since 2013, Juliet Davenport OBE, chief executive of renewable energy company Good Energy said:

“The message from the British public is loud and clear. 81% of us back renewables for our energy - people want to see a transition to a renewable future here in the UK.

"Just last week in New York, world leaders signed the Paris climate agreement, supporting ambitious plans to reduce carbon emissions. The government needs to listen to public support, take the lead in seizing new opportunities and keep us on the path to decarbonisation.”
